Among its services, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci offers its students the free service of finding and booking accommodation. Since this is a very important factor for their stay, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Florence pays much attention towards the care and research of housing for its students. The students can choose from a variety of accommodation options including:

SHARED APARTMENT

These are apartments where students of Scuola Leonardo da Vinci live together sharing common spaces such as the kitchen and bathroom. Students can choose whether to stay alone in a single room or share a space with another student in a double room. If a student wishes to come to Florence together with a partner who does not attend the course, we may provide the opportunity to book a double room together. The apartments offered by Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Florence are located in the city centre or in a residential area of Florence (maximum travel time of 30 minutes by public transport to and from the school). Sheets are provided by the school and changed every two weeks when there is a cleaning.

FAMILY

"La Mamma Italiana!"For those who want to immerse themselves in the Italian language and culture, the kind of accommodation and experience recommended is definitely the “Family”. Most of the families that host our students have collaborated with Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Florence for many years and for this they have a lot of experience in welcoming students from all parts of the world. Students may choose from two options: either half board (breakfast and dinner included) or breakfast only (in the second option students are not allowed to use the kitchen). The families are usually found near the school or in residential areas of the city with a maximum travel time of 30 minutes by public transport to and from the school. This type of accommodation requires some flexibility and adaptability to different habits however, it is definitely recommended for learning the language, customs and Italian manners. Our families are carefully selected and are eager to make their guests feel right at home.
